Major League Baseball's All-Star Game is one of the best summer traditions in sports. The voting for the 2014 edition has now closed, and the players lucky enough to be selected have been announced.

Baseball is one of the few sports in the world that focuses so much attention on the people who actually pay the bills (the consumers) during this process, and many of the players participating in this year’s event were voted in by the droves of MLB fans across the country.

When the All-Star Game takes place July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, these will be the rosters for the American League and the National League:

Starting Lineups

According to MLB.com’s official Twitter account, the starting lineups will look like this:

Breaking Down the 2014 All-Star Game Rosters

Baseball fans love the All-Star Game due to the historical significance of the event and the festivities that surround it, and the AL and NL rosters for the 2014 edition have fans and experts buzzing.

The best part of the annual game is how MLB gets the fans involved. With the ability to decide which players make the game, those casting their votes now have a vested interest in the Midsummer Classic and will pay closer attention.

As MLB’s public relations Twitter account shared, there were millions of votes for both leagues:

One of the most consistent vote-getters in this process is New York Yankees star shortstop Derek Jeter. Despite the clear drop in production in his advanced age, the fans still love his style of play and his attitude toward the sport.

After being told about getting voted in once again, Jeter spoke to Erik Boland of Newsday about what the honor means to him in his final MLB season before retirement:

Another player who made the All-Star Game is Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley. Not only did he make the team, but according to Matt O'Donnell of 6ABC, he also has put himself into an elite category both on the team and in the league:

One of the biggest shocks for this year’s All-Star Game is the recognition Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is receiving. With a .310 batting average, 16 home runs and 58 RBI, the young player deserves the honor.

Arizona’s official Twitter account shared just how dominant Goldschmidt has been since 2012:

While the voters got most of the top players onto the roster, there is always talk about the snubs who were not included. Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports rattled off a few of his own but added why they didn’t make the team:

Regardless of whether you agree with every player on the rosters or not, the fans and the league got the majority of the decisions correct. With serious star power throughout both lineups, the resulting battle on the field should result in a must-watch game.

The players take the All-Star Game seriously now due to the World Series implications—the winning team earns home-field advantage for their league in the final series—and the depth and the quality of the athletes on both rosters will make for a heated matchup.

The top stars in the league are already ultra-competitive. Adding the World Series caveat will only make the best in MLB work even harder, especially if those players believe their team could be in contention for the championship.
